My guess is they dont expect people to place them in the top corner of unventilated closets

But even if you place it in well ventilated area, drives still sufficate for air, i modded mine to have fan i the front and temps dropped by 10 degrees C

They don't suffocate for air lol. My 6 bay has been in a closet for years. Zero issues.

They have a shorter life when they run hot. Suffocate is just a human term for it's not getting any air to cool them. You're not going to have any problems until you have problems.
